A Painting A Day
Postcard from Holland is a project, in which I intend to paint a small ('postcard-size') oil painting each day, and post it to this blog. I will depict everyday objects, local fruits and dutch landscapes. In this way I hope to give visitors a day-to-day impression of my life as an artist in Holland.

Sugar Bowl

In the chapel of 'De Refter' where I am painting in the weekends, the light is very diffuse. Therefore, objects cast no strong shade there. I wanted to paint from live objects anyway (not from photo), so I decided to paint this sugar bowl. Due to the diffuse light, the painting is high on the tone scale everywhere.
